Hey, you! Yeah YOU!
How come you haven't registered? Have you read about our new blue star program? We are donating $10 of each blue star subscription to the Blue Ribbon Coalition to ensure that we will have trails to recreate on for years to come.
Our blue star comes with all the benefits of a red star such as 10 second searching, blue/red star member only giveaways, access to the private blue/red star member forums, etc.

Around me, I just go to the JY and snag one for $20, get a rebuild kit for another $15. You'll probably have to order a power valve, that's $10. Jets also, IIRC you'll end up paying about $20 shipped for a pair.

The MC2100 is extremely easy to rebuild. I just use carburetor cleaner and a toothbrush.

Now, if that carb off ebay comes with the correct jets, and the correct powervalve and is a fresh rebuild, than that doesn't sound too bad.

If by the intake you mean the adpater, you can order that anywhere for about $20

I am about to do a TBI swap. If that goes well, I'll have some MC2100s for sale. The TBI swap is something you might want to look into.

adapter is included with the carb I offered him 20 for the intake too(I need it all) 6 months since rebuild, throttle adapter, and this is coming off of a 258

Ask him what size carb it is, what jets, and what powervalve. Don't tell him what you're looking for, just ask what it has. If he doesn't know the answers immediately off the top of his head, than most likely it doesn't have those things.

Jets should be 46s or 47s 46s are about perfect for a stock 258 at sea level
Powervalve should be somewhere between 8.5-10.5
Carb should be a 1.08

I was consistantly getting 21mpg with a stock 258, 3 speed and 33x12.50s running a 1.08 with 46s and a 9.5 PV (55 mph though).

If it is has an electric or manual choke that's a little bit of a bonus.

So if everything is in good working order, it has the correct jets/pv and is a 1.08, that isn't a horrible deal. You're paying a little for convenience, but...

MC2100 or im my case i use a modified Carter. Ive had mine running with the vehicle on its side before and with the exception of near vertical climbs i rarely have an issue (a high idle hookup works for that tho)

The mr gasket adapter and gaskets look like a better quality product than TRD 2086 although through all the searching the TRD- 2086 is always listed. I have read that some people have had issues with the gaskets sealing anyone have any input on this.

I can't remember, but am pretty sure they were. What you don't want are the really thin plain paper ones that you're likely to get at Adv or AZ. You want something that is somewhat thick and pliable.

In general it is getting really hard to get good quality parts for carbed vehicles. They don't give you the right parts anymore when you go to the store. Make sure you use things that are gasoline resistant. Gasoline will turn many things into jelly in short order.
